I'm A Good Old Rebel lyrics

It's simply saying that no matter what you damn yankees do to us, the true rebel southerner's will never yield to your tirany against us!! The truth has long since come to the surface telling what it was really all about!! It was about control of our cotton, tobacco and other trades. Along with the control of the major gulf ports of call!! The union government didn't control them, so to help make the rich, richer and give controlling power to the union sympathizers, the northerners had to seize out lands, trade routes (i.e. The mississippi river) and to cripple our man power - citizens, while using the false guise of it being about slavery, when in fact many politicians and well off controlling factions owned, bought and traded more slaves then the poor southern share cropper farmer could dream of owning! Here we raised our children to work honest hard days work to help on the family farms!!! I can go on with that, but i think it's enough said.. "to the victor goes the spoils of war".. Thus giving them the first freedoms of recording accounts of events in the history books before the truth is told!! As well as the power to punish any one who tries to tell how it really happened!! I also know about this after the way history and hollywood has told the stories of my my own native american ancestors were treated!!! I am part native american and part german...

Great song, but i think in war are only the rich men the winners, the soldiers fight for their lives, the folks do everything to not be the "ugly folk" and because of this i think, we should fix our problems without war! Please excuse my english, i´m only an old viking (scotch/norse/german-mix)
